Revision as of 16:42, 16 September 2012
Spoiler warning: This article contains plot details about
an upcoming episode or series.
Series 10 of Shameless began airing on September 12, 2012. It will have a run of 11 episodes with the first two airing a day apart like the previous series. Series 9 was originally set to have 22 episodes with the run split into two halves with a break in-between just like Series 8. However for an unknown reason it was decided to turn this second half into Series 10 instead. Due to this, much of the events originally planned for Series 9 part 2 became storylines for Series 10.
Overview
Series 10 will see many, if not all, of the previous series characters return to their scandal filled lives on the Chatsworth Estate.
Frank is forced to find himself a job at World of Burgers when his benefits are cut. Jackson and Shane go into business by selling their own bootleg alcohol only to be forced into taking Billy's help when their booze is too disgusting to drink. Jamie finds himself in trouble when a pregnancy test is discovered that could belong to either his wife Karen or mistress Gloria. Marty tries to help a Brazilian house maid get free of slavery but is forced to steal from Lillian to do so when Kelly refuses to help.
Other events see Patty attempting to steal pills from Avril when she wants more than her recommended dose, Jackson becoming suspicious of his wife's relationship with workmate Callum, Billy becoming tired of not being taken seriously and Gloria getting on over her head with a loan company.
Big Brother 7 star and glamour model Imogen Thomas is also due to make a cameo appearance this series.
